It was interesting that there was absolutely no screwing around with the announcing of the results. Were they being classy or did they just waste too much time on the idiotic visits home (Look 8,000 people!).

Patca, I agree that Carrie's "Crying" was one of her best performances, but "I Feel Like A Woman" was such a bad song for her that my wife suspected Randy of trying to throw the vote to Vonzell. I do wonder whether Randy was just curious about whether Carrie could get up there and sing that line with any conviction, and we found out: She can't. I didn't think Paula did Bo any favors with "Satisfaction" either (but Paula might be sensitive about doing favors . . .).

May I also say that while I thought the group song was ridiculous as usual (was anyone actually singing lead?), Baby V was just radiant in singing her farewell.

Bill, you may well be right. I was told that Carrie had the most valuable contract at Tradesports up until Tuesday night, when Bo went past her. Now Bo is trading at around 62 and Carrie at around 38.http://www.tradesports.com/pda/contracts.jsp?eventID=27155&groupID=113&className=Entertainment
